Chapter 245: 245 Introduction to Each Other
Welcome to the Dollhouse.
Associating the words with the Gold Coin, all eyes subconsciously turned to Tan Xiao.
Tan Xiao looked befuddled, “Huh? Why is everyone looking at me like this?”
Some people turned their gaze away with complicated expressions.
“You guys aren’t blaming me, are you?” Tan Xiao refused to be the scapegoat and quickly pointed to Li Li, “If he hadn’t insisted on looking at that Gold Coin, I wouldn’t have even noticed the words engraved on it! If anyone’s to blame, it’s him!”
Li Li looked as if he were constipated, “It’s normal human curiosity, alright? After coming out of the game, of course, I would be curious about what the final reward would be!”
Su Man also defended Li Li, “If there’s anyone to blame, it should be the Inspector! What kind of rewards is he giving out? It’s clearly to set us up!”
“So, by that logic, I should be to blame?” Bai Youwei chimed in calmly, “If I hadn’t led everyone to clear the stage and offended the Inspector, perhaps he wouldn’t have bestowed this Gold Coin upon us.”
Tan Xiao immediately came to her defense, “How could we blame you?! If you look at it that way, shouldn’t we be blaming Fei ge? If he hadn’t brought a bunch of people over, we wouldn’t even be in the game!”
“Fei ge came over because you guys robbed them!” Lun Ang added.
“We robbed them because they were up to no good first! They wanted to steal our items!”
“How did they know you guys had items?”
“Would we have revealed the item if you guys hadn’t caused trouble?”
Round and round they went, ending up right back where they started.
“Enough! Stop acting like three-year-olds.” Yan Qingwen was both frustrated and annoyed, “Is there any point in arguing at this point?”
Everyone closed their mouths.
There was silence for a while.
Shen Mo said, “If the game system is really that strict, why was there no reaction from the system when the Inspector gave the Gold Coin to Tan Xiao as a reward?”
“Could it be a reward stage?” Tan Xiao suggested.
He hadn’t attended much school, but he had played a lot of games and was quick-witted when it came to game logic.
“There’s such a setting in many online games. You kill a monster and if you’re lucky it might drop a key to a particular instance. These special instances are usually difficult but the rewards are also impressive, like rare equipment and such.”
“It seems we really have entered the game…” Yan Qingwen mused, “Though we’ve entered, we haven’t met the conditions to start the game, so nothing has happened so far.”
Li Li said, “Could it be like what Zhu Shu said, the game will only start when all of us change into those clothes?”
“There’s a possibility…” Yan Qingwen thought a bit and glanced at others, “If there’s still no progress tomorrow, shall we try putting on the clothes?”
They all looked at each other, no one objected.
Yan Qingwen continued, “It seems we haven’t officially introduced ourselves yet. Why don’t we each share a bit about ourselves? That way we won’t bumble around once the game starts.”
Chang Weicai, Tan Xiao, and Pan Xiaoxin turned their heads to look at Shen Mo and Bai Youwei.
Bai Youwei was busy roasting something on the fire, not making a sound.
Shen Mo, on the other hand, nodded and said, “Sure, knowing each other would indeed be good.”
Seeing everyone agree, Li Li couldn’t help but hesitate, “But what if it’s a competitive game …everyone will know each other’s weaknesses.”
Yan Qingwen said, “The chances of it being competitive are slim.”
Li Li: ” But what if?”
“Heh, nit-picker.” Bai Youwei laughed disdainfully, too lazy to even flicker her eyelids.
Li Li’s expression stiffened slightly, defiantly said, “There’s always a ‘what if’ in everything, right?!”
Bai Youwei, with half-closed eyes, replied, “I have a fever, I can’t be bothered with arguing.”
She glanced at Pan Xiaoxin next to her, “Xiaoxin, you tell him.”
